Dwight Yoakam and wife Emily Joyce: The Secret Love Story

Second Chapter: Love in the Time of a Pandemic

The couple was engaged in 2016 and four years later, they exchanged their vows. The intimate ceremony was held in St. Monica Catholic Church in Santa Monica with less than ten attendees who were all seated six feet apart following social-distancing requirements. In a time of uncertainty, the couple still chose to have their happy moment. After all, it was a culmination of a love that endured and championed through a decade. 

Dwight Yoakam and Emily Joyce married in March 2020, just before the lockdown due to the pandemic happened, but they only announced it in May. According to a statement, the belated announcement was withheld out of respect to the current situation and the many people affected by the health crisis.
